Article 1(3) thereof,

Whereas pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No
1859/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/
94 (5), the release for free circulation in the Community of
garlic imported from third countries is subject to presen-

that Regulation for
the month of September 1998;
whereas it is therefore necessary to determine to what
extent import licences may be issued in response to these
applications; whereas the issue of licences in response to

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2788/98 by Carmen DÍEZ DE RIVERA ICAZA to the Commission. Misleading tourist advertising

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2788/98

by Carmen D(cid:237)ez de Rivera Icaza (PSE) to the Commission

(9 September 1998)

Subject: Misleading tourist advertising

The public is inundated with tourist brochures that claim to promote idyllic resorts or islands in the
Mediterranean, using photographs suggesting an unspoiled and virtually undeveloped natural habitat, which
can easily mislead. The reality is another matter altogether, with mushrooming apartments and hotels, piles of
rubbish, sound pollution, water shortages, deficient infrastructures, etc.

1. What measures does the Commission intend to take to ensure awareness and observation of Directive 84/
450/EEC (1)?

Has the Commission any plans to make it compulsory for advertising material for tourist accommodation to

2.
give an accurate picture of the actually existing environmental condition of the location concerned?

(1) OJ L 250, 19.9.1984, p. 17.

Answer given by Mrs Bonino on behalf of the Commission

(9 October 1998)

All the Member States have transposed into their national legislation Council Directive 84/450/EEC of
10 September 1984 relating to the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the
Member States concerning misleading advertising.

The Community legislation applies to all areas, including tourism and the environment.

Article 4 of the Directive provides that all the Member States shall ensure that adequate and effective means exist
for the control of misleading advertising. The Commission is of the opinion that the means and procedures
implemented by the Member States make it possible to take effective action against specific cases of misleading
advertising.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2789/98

by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission

(17 September 1998)

Subject: Light pollution

Light pollution is a growing problem in both urban and rural areas, causing serious physiological and ecological
problems. This form of pollution also wastes electricity, which means wasted money and thereby more
importantly waste of the earth(cid:146)s finite energy resources.

Has the Commission carried out any studies into this form of pollution, and if so are there any appropriate
Community initiatives?

Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission

(28 October 1998)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to Written Questions E-1166/95 (1) and E-
2014/95 by Mr Whitehead (2).
